In this inspiring episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by menopause health coach and nutritionist Annie Gaudreault for a conversation that completely reframes what menopause can mean.

For so many women, menopause arrives as an unexpected disruption—bringing physical symptoms, emotional challenges, shifting identities, and questions they've never asked themselves before.

But what if this isn't the beginning of decline?

What if it's the beginning of becoming more fully yourself?

Together, Annie and I explore how menopause can become one of the most empowering chapters of a woman's life—not because it's easy, but because it invites us to pause, reassess, and intentionally choose what comes next.

We discuss why so many high-achieving women reach midlife feeling disconnected from themselves, the importance of creating space for change, and why health isn't about perfection—it's about building a life that truly supports you.

This episode is an invitation to stop surviving menopause and seeing this stage in a negative way, but start experiencing it as the gateway to your next chapter.

When we think about menopause hormones, most of us think about oestrogen and progesterone. But what if we've been overlooking one of the most important hormones for women's health?

In this Summer Series episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, Jacqueline is joined by renowned hormone specialist Dr Angela DeRosa for a fascinating conversation about testosterone—a hormone that has long been considered a "male hormone" but is, in fact, essential for women's health throughout every stage of life.

Together they explore why testosterone is often the first hormone to decline during perimenopause, why it remains one of the least understood aspects of menopause care, and how it influences everything from energy, mood and libido to brain function, muscle strength, bone health and long-term metabolic health.

The conversation also tackles the gender bias that has shaped women's healthcare for decades, why testosterone remains difficult for women to access, and why it's time for the conversation around hormone health to evolve.

If you've ever been told your hormone levels are "normal" but you still don't feel like yourself, this episode may completely change how you understand your body.

In this deeply moving episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by Dr. Nicola Harker, a former NHS GP who left medicine after more than 20 years to teach one of the most overlooked skills in women's health: self-compassion.

After experiencing burnout within a healthcare system that prioritised efficiency over human connection, Nicola realised that compassion wasn't simply a personality trait—it was a skill that could be learned, practised and strengthened.

Together, we explore why so many women are relentlessly hard on themselves, why the inner critic feels so convincing, and how years of people-pleasing, perfectionism and self-sacrifice leave many women exhausted by the time they reach midlife.

We also discuss the systemic bias women continue to experience in healthcare, why women's pain is so often dismissed, and how learning self-compassion can fundamentally change the way we lead, parent, work, heal and navigate menopause.

This conversation is a beautiful reminder that the relationship you have with yourself shapes every other part of your life—and it's never too late to change that relationship.

Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why you were there? Or read the same page three times and still couldn't remember what you just read?

In this Summer Series episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, Jacqueline sits down with ADHD coach Alana Stern to explore one of the fastest-growing conversations in women's health—the connection between menopause, ADHD and changing brain function.

Together they unpack why so many women experience brain fog, forgetfulness, overwhelm and difficulty concentrating during perimenopause, why ADHD diagnoses are increasing in midlife women, and how hormonal changes can profoundly affect executive functioning. Alana explains the science behind why cognitive changes happen, while also offering hope that there are practical strategies to improve focus, organisation and daily functioning.

Whether you've lived with ADHD your whole life, suspect you may have been undiagnosed, or are simply struggling with cognitive changes during menopause, this episode offers understanding, reassurance and practical strategies to help you navigate this often confusing stage of life.

If you've ever wondered whether menopause has changed your brain, this episode is essential listening. Most importantly, this conversation reminds women that they are not "losing their minds."

In this insightful and myth busting episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by Dr. Mandy Marziaz, midlife transformation guide and women's nervous system mentor, for a conversation that completely reframes the way we think about hormones, stress, and menopause.

If you've ever felt like you've suddenly "lost yourself" in midlife—struggling with brain fog, exhaustion, anxiety, poor sleep, weight gain or feeling like your body has turned against you—this episode will help you understand why.

Together, we explore why so many high-achieving women hit a wall during perimenopause, and why the problem isn't simply declining hormones. We discuss the profound impact of chronic stress, nervous system dysregulation, and years of overriding our body's signals in the pursuit of productivity, perfection, and success.

Rather than chasing the latest supplement, biohack or quick fix, Mandy explains why healing begins by reconnecting with your body, slowing down, and creating safety within your nervous system.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that menopause isn't asking you to become someone new, it's inviting you to stop, listen and pay attention to what your body needs.

For many women, perimenopause feels confusing, overwhelming and isolating. Symptoms appear seemingly out of nowhere, doctors can't always provide answers, and it's easy to feel like you've somehow lost yourself.

In this inspiring Summer Series episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, Jacqueline sits down with Emily Barclay, founder of the Perimenopause Hub, to explore one of the most empowering skills every woman can develop: learning to listen to her body.

After years of unexplained fatigue, overwhelming emotions and being repeatedly dismissed by healthcare professionals, Emily discovered that understanding her hormonal patterns completely changed how she approached her health—and inspired her to build a global community supporting thousands of women through perimenopause.

Together they discuss the power of symptom tracking, why exercise isn't always the answer, the hidden impact of stress on hormonal health, and why reconnecting with your body may be one of the most important steps you can take during midlife.

If you've ever wondered why your body suddenly feels different—or why the strategies that used to work no longer do—this episode will reassure you that you're not imagining it.

In this eye-opening episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by pelvic health physiotherapist Chloe Evans to challenge one of the biggest myths in women's health.

For decades, women have been told that if they experience leaking, prolapse, pelvic pain, or changes after pregnancy or menopause, the answer is simple - it was all about the Kegel.

But what if that's not only incomplete advice... what if it's actually making things worse?

Chloe explains why many women don't have a weak pelvic floor at all—they have an overworked, tense one. We explore the incredible relationship between breathing, the diaphragm, the pelvic floor and the nervous system, and why learning to relax these muscles is often the missing piece.

We also discuss pregnancy, birth, prolapse, menopause, painful sex, caesarean births, and why every woman deserves better education about one of the most important muscle groups in her body.

This conversation will completely change the way you think about pelvic floor health.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is one of the most talked-about—and often misunderstood—topics in menopause. How do you make sense of the all conflicting advice and guidance?

In this Summer Series episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, Jacqueline sits down with functional medicine physician and bioidentical hormone specialist Dr Barbara Gordon Cohen to explore one of the biggest questions women ask during perimenopause and menopause:

Together they unpack the differences between conventional HRT and bioidentical hormones, discuss who may benefit from hormone therapy, why quality of life should be part of every menopause conversation, and why personalised care is essential when deciding on treatment.

This is not a conversation about convincing every woman to take HRT. It's about empowering women with balanced information so they can make informed decisions about their own health.

If you've been wondering whether HRT is right for you or you've felt overwhelmed by the conflicting information surrounding hormone therapy, this episode offers a thoughtful and balanced perspective.

In this empowering episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by functional nutrition and metabolism coach Staci Lynch for a conversation that every woman navigating her 30s, 40s and beyond needs to hear.

So many women arrive in midlife believing their bodies have suddenly turned against them. Weight gain, exhaustion, brain fog, hormonal changes and unexplained symptoms can leave women feeling frustrated, defeated and disconnected from themselves.

But what if your body isn't failing you?

What if it's been trying to get your attention all along?

Together, Staci and I explore why midlife symptoms are often an invitation—not a betrayal. We discuss why women have been conditioned to ignore their own needs, the importance of becoming an advocate for your health, and how rebuilding trust with your body starts with small, sustainable habits rather than drastic overhauls.

We also challenge society's obsession with weight and encourage a healthier conversation focused on strength, nourishment, resilience and long-term wellbeing.

This episode is a powerful reminder that your body was designed to heal, adapt and thrive when it's given what it truly needs.

For decades, women have been told that menopause is an ending—a loss of youth, fertility and vitality. But what if we've been looking at it all wrong?

In this Summer Series episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, Jacqueline sits down with renowned menopause mentor, author and speaker Kate Codrington to explore one of the most beautiful and empowering frameworks for understanding menopause: the Seasons Model.

Together they reframe perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause as a natural cycle of growth, release and renewal. Rather than seeing menopause as something to survive, Kate invites us to see it as an awakening—a profound invitation to return to ourselves.

This conversation explores why so many women feel overwhelmed in midlife, why our culture has misunderstood menopause for generations, and how embracing the concept of Second Spring can completely change the way we experience this transition.

If you've ever felt like you're losing yourself during menopause, this episode will remind you that perhaps you're actually finding yourself.

If you've been searching for a more hopeful, empowering way to understand menopause, this conversation offers an entirely different perspective. This episode is a beautiful reminder that menopause isn't the end of your story.
